Book Reviews of Cry, the Beloved Country (Oprah's Book Club)
Book Review: Beautifully written
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book I could not put it down! I think Paton did a brillant job in writting this magnificiant story. One will be drawn to the characters as Paton described each of them so well. This book will teach one to appreciate what they have or hope to have. And that my friend will have to discover it for themselves. I hope one will love this book as much as I have.Book Review: Africa A Legacy
Summary: 5 Stars
I own this book on audio and it by far one of the best I have ever read. I must read it again as I don't know if Absaloms Child repeated his acts of murder or if it was written in flashbacks, but I was totally rivited to the story every minute.The story definitely left an impression on me though it was fiction I felt as if it had actually taken place.
Book Review: SOUTH AFRICA WRITTEN BEAUTIFULLY
Summary: 5 Stars
CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY EMBRACES ALL THAT IS BEAUTIFUL IN SOUTH AFRICA AND AT THE SAME TIME REVEALS HARDSHIPS ENDURED DURING THE APARTHEID. THIS NOVEL IS A VERY HISTORICALLY ENHANCING READ SURROUNDED BY A STORY OF LOVE, FAMILY AND ENDURANCE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS NOVEL AS A QUICK BUT GREAT READ CAPTURING THE READER'S HEART EARLY IN THE STORY.Book Review: Probably my favorite book EVER
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading "Professor Smith's" review, I have to wonder if we read the same book. The tragedy that the characters experienced is horrific, but the beautiful events that that arose from that tragedy are inspiring! "Cry, the Beloved Country" is amazing, poetic, moving, affecting, and an important book to read.Book Review: Amazing Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is amazing. It is by far the best book I have ever read. The story is heart-warming. I could not put it down. The characters come alive on the pages. Alan Paton handles a sensitive situation with compassion. I would highly recommend this to anyone. I hope you too find as much enjoyment as I did.
